Hello All!<br>I am a 33 yr. old female with 2
teenaged kids. I have been a full charge
bookeeper/secretary for a small corporation for 10 yrs. I have a
G.E.D. and have never attended college. I have been
considering either paralegal studies or legal studies for
quite some time and have questions. <br>1) Why are all
of you studying to become paralegals and not
lawyers?<br>2) Is paralegal study so demanding that it would be
very very difficult for someone in my life situation
to study a lot and excell in courses? In other
words, (being fairly bright and a quick learner -
usually) would my studies keep me up all night and be so
demanding that I could not have a family life? I want to
make really good grades, if I enroll, but I don't want
to sacrifice every other part of my life for this. I
understand that some sacrifice will be unavoidable. Any
advice?<br>3) Is the paralegal profession the real "heart and
soul" of the legal community? It seems that way to me
from what I have read.<br>4) My current employer
offers nothing but a paycheck, so I am about to begin
looking for a new job. My area (Tennessee) has been
experiencing a very high rate of employment for a couple of
years now, so employers are fairly easy to find if you
have good skills, which (not tooting my own horn here)
I do have good strong office skills and a good
employment record. In other words, jobs of all kinds are
plentiful in this area. (don't everybody rush to Tennessee
taking all my job possibilities!!! :) Any suggestions as
to what type of job I should be looking for for
experience, pay, tuition reimbursement, etc.?<br><br>I am
sorry for such a long post, but am looking for answers
before I commit. Thanks so much!<br><br>Annitta
